After riding the bike and cutting it off, sometimes after 20 to 30 minutes, when starting, it will not do any more than idle. If you cut it off and back on it will be fine. It also has gone to an idle while going down the road. Pulled over and stopped and started again it was fine. Any suggestions?

This is caused by the ECU loosing or seeing an in-correct signal from the throttle position sensor (fly by wire). Remove the plug located on right side of bike mounted on the throttle body pointing towards rear of bike. Removal of air cleaner assy may be required. Spray a good quality switch cleaner in both the socket and plug. Allow to dry completely. Use HD contact grease in plug and socket to prevent this happening again.
